ESSA Accountability Model
ESSA 30,000 foot View 0 Accountability System 0 Establish school performance objectives 0 Measure progress of schools/districts against those objectives 0 Taking action with respect to schools that do not make acceptable progress
ESSA Must Report on: 0 State-designed long term goals with measurements of interim progress for ALL students & subgroups in the following areas (at a minimum) 0 Achievement on State Assessments 0 Graduation Rates 0 English Language Proficiency
ESSA Accountability System 0 Must Include these Academic Indicators: 0 Achievement on state tests (Achievement GAP included) 0 Growth or other indicator for elementary & middle 0 Graduation Rates for high schools 0 Progress in English language proficiency Accountability Work Group #1
What Else Can States Include? 0 ESSA provides the opportunity to include 0 a more comprehensive picture of Student Outcomes 0 Information about factors that matter most for student success and provide incentive for school improvement
ESSA Accountability System 0 Must include at least one measure of School Quality or Student Success 0 Student engagement 0 Completion of advanced coursework 0 Post-secondary readiness (CCR) 0 School climate or safety 0 “Other” as determined by State Accountability Work Groups 2 and 3
Annual Accountability 0 Aggregate the results from five areas: 0 Achievement 0 Growth 0 Graduation rate Defensible method to combine these 0 English proficiency categories 0 School Quality or Student Success 0 95% tested 0 Results of students/subgroups must be weighted in such a way that they produce results that “meaningfully differentiate” schools annually and identify schools in need of comprehensive support
ESSA Identification for Low Performance 0 Comprehensive Support & Improvement 0 At least once every three years 0 5% lowest performing in the State 0 High Schools with graduation rates <67% 0 School with subgroups performing as low as the lowest 5% schools for x number of years
ESSA Identification for Low Performance 0 Targeted Support & Intervention 0 At least once every three years 0 Consistently under-performing subgroups (not necessary as low as the lowest 5% schools, but the gap to proficiency by the subgroups is consistently high

If an opt-out policy is adopted by the General Assembly: 0 Schools and districts without the 95% tested 0 May not earn highest performance level rating or receive any reward recognition 0 Will have to develop a plan to address testing all required students 0 May have reduced funds for federal programs such as Title 1, Title III, etc
